Awesome park for kids!

This is, by far, our favorite park to bring young kids to. First of all, the ranger-led programs are the best we’ve seen. When we were there in the summer, we went on mushroom hunts, a guided paddle, a ghost walk, and we learned about bird migrations. Programs are offered on the weekends through the summer. The park is right on the Waterbury Reservoir, so there are lots of opportunities for swimming, fishing, and paddling.

There are two camping loops, and two beaches in the park. We prefer the B beach because it is grassy and the swimming area has a sandy bottom. We also prefer the B loop for camping, but all the sites are lovely. When reserving, we always try and get a spot close to the water, some spots are a bit of a walk, but the park is busy through the summer, so we take what we can get.

There are lots of trails for hiking - one leads to an old abandoned house and another to an old cemetery. I recommend bringing bikes here to get around. Also, there’s no cell service anywhere in the park.
